Movies' Day. Part IV

Although I write about separate movies from time to time, it's been pretty long since my last "Movies' Day" post, so I feel quite ready to create something new for you.

Alright, alright, alright! Last weekend my roommate and dear friend Cherry Lady checked the movies we had been recommended by our professors. 

The first one is "Philadelphia", a 1993 American drama film and one of the first mainstream Hollywood films to acknowledge HIV/AIDS, homosexuality, and homophobia. (Thanks, Wikipedia) Actually, the film wasn't in our mood, but we watched it pretty attentively because the acting is simply brilliant! I can easily understand why Mr. Tom Hanks received the Oscar for the leading role of Andrew Beckett. And the soundtrack! Certainly I'd heard "Streets of Philadelphia" by Bruce Springsteen before, but I never knew it was for the movie. That was pleasant news. 

The plot is rather controversial but pretty understandable. I loved that even though Denzel Washington's character Joe Miller had homophobia and  mysophobia, he agreed on helping Andrew Beckett in the name of justice and law. The movie's worth watching even if you're not a fan of the jurisprudence.

Tom Hanks as Andrew Beckett

On Sunday, we turned on "Guys and Dolls". It's a 1955 movie based on the Broadway musical of the same name. It starred  Marlon Brando, Jean Simmons, Frank Sinatra and Vivian Blaine. The plot is about how 50s' New York criminals liked gambling and betting. And that love wins at the end of it all. The movie is full of nice songs and fancy dances - of course, it's based on the musical! I liked the characters. Men were so handsome and women were so stylish those days. It reminded me of how much I like 50s' movies.

The only thing I didn't like in "Guys and Dolls" was Sister Sarah Brown's wedding dress. Or better say, the lack of her wedding dress! I know that she was a missionary, but I beg you! It's a 50s' musical! You could have made it!

But in general, "Guys and Dolls" is totally worth watching.

The third film I wanna talk about is the latest James Bond film "Spectre". The acting crew is wonderful! Daniel Craig, of course, but I was even more thrilled about one and only Monica Bellucci, adorable Ben Whishaw, Ralph Fiennes and - OMG YAS - Andrew Scott! Mr. Scott played Max Denbigh, a member of the British government, and comparing this character to Scott's famous Moriarty, I guess Andrew Scott do fine with this type of role. Unfortunately, Andrew's character won't be lucky to appear in next movies. But maybe as a flashback? Please?
Frankly speaking, I didn't like Léa Seydoux as a Bond girl much. Well, she's nice, but not splendid, you know.

The story features James Bond's first encounter with the global criminal organisation Spectre, marking the group's first appearance in an Eon Productions film since 1971's Diamonds Are Forever, and tying Craig's series of films together with an overarching storyline. (Thanks, Wikipedia)

Of course, I can't help writing about the main "Spectre" theme "Writing's On The Wall" performed by Sam Smith. Remember how excited I was with "Skyfall" by Adele? No wonder why it received an Oscar. So "Writing's On The Wall" is spectacular as well. I watched the live performance, and Mr. Smith nailed it! Let's see what awards this track will get.

Also, Cherry Lady and I have watched (my friend has re-watched) an amazing British series calls "Black Books". There are 3 seasons in the sitcom as well as 3 main characters: the bookshop's owner Bernard Black played by hilarious Dylan Moran, his assistant Manny Bianco and their friend Fran Katzenjammer. Actually, it's all about the wine, dealing with life and relationships, more booze, books vs. modern technologies, "Don't you dare use the word "party" as a verb in this shop!" and wine again. The comedy is just great! Not that stupid American pointless sitcoms, but classy smart British-Irish humor as it is.

That's all for today! Enjoy the silence the movies and have fun!

The Engish Fest

Today's English festival wasn't a festival where you could easily get beer, dance with adorable ladies and have fun with your good old buddies. Was it so because the fest was for... pupils? Oh, most likely. But I'd rather had a glass of beer than was sitting there and listening to those criminal things many children did.

Marry Me Rolling In The Deep

Guys, guys, guuuys! The 2nd semi-final has gone, so we know who will perform on Saturday (on Sunday for our time zone). So here they go:

• Firstly, there're forever-competitors: the UK, France, Spain, Germany, Italy and the last year winner Sweden
• Then we have the winners of the 1st semi-final: Moldova, Lithuania, Ireland, Estonia, Belarus, Denmark, Mother Russia, Belgium, Ukraine and the Netherlands
• And the lastest winners of the 2nd semi-final: Hungary, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Romania, Norway, Iceland, Armenia, Finland, Malta, Greece

It's pity the Swiss team didn't get through. I think the 95 year-old contrabass player was worth being in the Grand final. 

My favourite song of the 2nd semi-final is funny "Marry Me" by the singer Krista Siegfrids from Finland. She'd written this song for her boyfriend hinting delicate. Also to support one sex marriege in her country, she [SPOILERS] kissed a girl on the stage! (aah, I'm singing Katy Perry's song while I'm typing it)

Today I've gone shopping with my friend, and my legs are ready to die. But I've bought things I wanted for a long time, so now I'm almost ready for summer! So I bought this:

A pin up top. Well, it looks better on me.
Marina and the Diamonds would like

See the ring? I've got it too!

Plus gym-shoes with sweet flower print, but perhaps you'll see them on the photos.

The song of the days isn't "Marry Me". During the day my friend and I have "run into" the song by Adele called "Rolling In The Deep" several times, so it'll be the song of the day. 

You know, "Glee" sang this amazing song as well, therefore here's their version.

Tomorrow I'll visit my music school, because I've been invited on the graduation party. I think, it's going to be excellent, because my best music friend and I need noone else to party, even if the party isn't ours. Go to hell, we are stars.

Be brave, have nice weekend!

P.S. 

Rumour Has It (so slow)

Yey! I've got 4/B for my final math test! I'm so proud of myself, even though my teacher said I was on the verge. So today we wrote a work for Russian, and rumour has it, I've got an excellent mark and just one mistake.
In 2 days I'll have a concert for the veterans due to the Victory Day. But if the weather's bad, we won't perform. On the one hand I don't want to perform, it's a real chore, but on the other hand I don't want bad weather.
In two weeks our boys will leave us for their military training. Sure, some of boys will remain because they can't be there by the reason of the age. Poor guys, they want to be in a par with the others. So, will we miss the boys? Undoubtedly. Even at least because I'll go to school and back home alone for 5 days in a row!
The last "Doctor Who" episode I watched yesterday night just shoсked me! I thought I wouldn't sleep! But the end caught my interest and calm me down, so I'm alright and wait for the next episode with... [SPOILERS] the Cybermen! I've missed them, our good old buddies. But look at the history line of the Cybermen - they were so funny in the beggining. Of course, that time people didn't think so.

A couple of days ago I missed a date - one of the most marvellous singers of modern time was born 25 years ago on the 5th of May. I'm sure you all understand who I'm talking about - she's beautiful Adele! I don't expand the information about her, that you know, but I can't help mentioning her "Oscar" and "Golden Globe Award" for her amazing 007's soundtrack "Skyfall". I've already called this song TSOTD and even The Song Of The Week! If you look more carefully, you can find the name of the song of the day - certainly Adele's one. But don't trouble yourself - it's droll "Rumour Has It"! Moreover, "Glee" made a mash-up of this song with "Someone Like You", and it was their aniversary 300th performance. So, here gorgeous Adele goes! And "Glee" girls too

Bless your soul, you got your head in the clouds

You made a fool out of me and, boy, I'm bringing you down

You made my heart melt yet I'm cold to the core

But rumour has it I'm the one you're leaving her for

Be brave!

Movies's Day

I'm home!
My night with the friend was great as usually. We watched "One Day" starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess. I haven't written I already watched it some days ago and I was crying soooo much! That film shows life of the couple for 20 years. Emma and Dexter was the best friends, but they understood they're more than friends, so then they finally found each other in love, but... Watch the film! It's soooo amazing!

And today my boyfriend and I have watched "Skyfall"!! So exited! The film's release coincided with the 50th anniversary of the James Bond series. OMG 50 years! 

I wanted to go to the cinema because of Ben Whishaw, of course! And I'm satisfied in the end...

I like the fact that Ben, my dear Ben is almost everywhere now: "Cloud Atlas", "Skyfall"... These two big, I'd say the biggest movies are making a future to him! 

And guys! I've started learning Italian! 

The song of the day will be "Helena Beat" by Foster The People. My best friend from music school just adores that band! 

Let The Sky Fall (So THORsday)

What did I write in my past post? Was "Skyfall" the song of the day?? I can easy say "Skyfall" may be the song of the week and even longer till it's stoped showing the film "Skyfall" in the cinemas! And because that wonderful song has already been TSOTD, so I just want to put here lyrics of the song.

This is the end.

Hold your breath and count to ten.

Feel the Earth move and then

Hear my heart burst again.

For this is the end.

I've drowned and dreamt this moment

So overdue... I owe them.

Swept away, I'm stolen.

Let the sky fall.

When it crumbles

We will stand tall,

Face it all together.

Let the sky fall.

When it crumbles

We will stand tall,

And face it all together.

At Skyfall.

Skyfall is where we start...

A thousand miles and poles apart,

When worlds collide, and days are dark...

You may have my number, you can take my name

But you'll never have my heart.

Let the sky fall.

When it crumbles

We will stand tall,

And face it all together.

Let the sky fall.

When it crumbles

We will stand tall,

And face it all together.

At Skyfall.

Where you go I go,

What you see I see...

I know I'll never be me, without the security

Of your loving arms

Keeping me from harm.

Put your hand in my hand

And we'll stand.

Let the sky fall.

When it crumbles

We will stand tall,

And face it all together.

Let the sky fall.

When it crumbles

We will stand tall,

And face it all together.

At Skyfall.

Let the sky fall...

We will stand tall...

At Skyfall.

Well, in general my days are going ok, with their jokes and sorrows. Right in a week, next Thursday (THORsday, if you know what I mean) my mom will come home. Yey!:D (so mamy's girl)

Aaaand the song of this THORsday will be... "Want U Back" by Cher Lloyd. Let's get some fun! 

The Nativity

The day before yesterday was my birthday, and it was GREAT! My best friend made an amazing surprise for me! *O* Look!

In general there were 7 persons at my small party after school, my close friends (not all); and fron those 7 person there were only 2 girls - me amd my bet friend!

But my celebrating doesn't amount in one day, I can say I still celebrate it! Yestarday a famous Russian singer Polina Gagarina came to our city for a free perfomance, so my 2 friends and I were there.

Today my mom has gone to Moscow for her studing. She'll come back only in 2 weeks.

Also today was a hard pouring rain, so I even had to go under it, and I got wet through all my clothes. Brrr!!

The ong of the day will be a new single of adorable Adele "Skyfall" for becoming great movie "Skyall" about James Bond with brilliant Daniel Craig and lovely Ben Whishaw!

You were sorta punk rock, I grew up on hip-hop

The maraphon of Lana Del Ray's covers is opened! Yesterday I did three covers of Lana and one of Adele. Listen, please!:)

The dog days are over, the dog days are done!

Since today I can freely say to everybody I study in the 10th grade with the socio-humanitarian profile. Yey! It's all because of my interlocution in my school today, where everyone talked with our director and decided which class to go. So, I did it easily, because I am high achiever. GET IT!
Right now I'm watching the 15th episode of the 3rd season of "The Big Bang Theory". On having watched it I'll go to the bathroom. So, I should.
Tomorrow my friend from Korea will celebrate her Birthday. Oh, how well that I've already prepared a gift for her! It's a bracelet she likes and a card. Hope, it'll be funny!:)
Well, I slowly prepare for my travel. So yesterday I sorted all my clothes in the closet. Of course, it's not only for the travel, but for all my others days, because if I didn't have any special events, I wouldn't do it soon. And now my closet has become emptier in 2 times.
Also yesterday was a terrific day! After geting the certificates we went to the supermarket and I bought there 4 rings and a bracelet (not counting the bracelet for my friend)!! I'm so happy! You'd know how I adore all that stuff!!
How long ago did I post a Very Intresting Blog? However, finally I'm doing it right now! A Very Intresting Blog Today is

TWENTYFOURSEVEN

So, here's a link: http://twentyfourseven-247.blogspot.com

The song of the day will be... To tell the truth, now I can't help listening Lana Del Ray. But I'm afraid you may say: "We're fed up with your Lana!". Therefore I want to diversify my song of the days with other lovely songs. Therefore the song of the day will be "Don't You Remember" by Adele. I've missed her in my blog, and today here she goes! Enjoy!

And I want to give you a picture for the night (because I've got the night outside)
